1. General Information
1.1. Viva Couplings are designed to provide a mechanical connection between the rotating shafts of mechanical equipment, using
a torsionally soft flexible element to accommodate inherent misalignment while transmitting the power and torque between the
shafts.
1.2. These instructions are intended to help you to install and maintain your Viva coupling. Please read these instructions prior to
installing the coupling, and prior to maintenance of the coupling and connected equipment. Keep these instructions near the
coupling installation and available for review by maintenance personnel.
1.3. Rexnord Industries, LLC owns the copyright of this material. These Installation and Maintenance instructions may not be
reproduced in whole or in part for competitive purposes.
1.4. Symbol descriptions:
Danger of injury to persons.
Damages on the machine possible.
Pointing to important items.
2. Safety and Advice Hints
DANGER!
2.1. Safety should be a primary concern in all aspects of coupling installation, operation, and maintenance.
2.2. All rotating power transmission products are potentially dangerous and can cause serious injury. They must be guarded in
compliance with OSHA, ANSI and any other local standard for the applications they are used. It is the responsibility of the user
to provide proper guarding.
2.3. Failure to secure capscrews properly could cause coupling component(s) to dislodge during operation and result in personal
injury. See table 3 for proper tightening torques.
2.4. Do not use on turbine drives if the coupling cannot be protected from steam leakage or overspeed situations beyond the
couplings published speed rating.
2.5. Before installing this coupling on systems involving sleeve bearings, herringbone gearsets or other axially sensitive devices,
consult Rexnord.
2.6. Elastomeric couplings can hold a static electric charge that may discharge and ignite in an explosive environment Both shafts of
the connected equipment must have a path to Both shafts of the connected equipment must have a path to ground.

5. Rexnord Viva Coupling Installation
Step 1
5.1. Clean dirt and burrs from shafts and hub bores.
5.2. Be sure the keys fit shafts properly.
5.3. Position both hubs on the shaft without tightening
the setscrews.
5.4. Use a half element to set proper hub spacing.
5.5. When the hubs are properly spaced, tighten
the setscrews.
5.6. When using tapered bushings, follow bushing
manufacturers instructions.
Step 2
5.7. Mount first half element to the hubs using cap
screws provided.
5.8. Rotate the shaft 180 degrees and secure second
half element.
5.9. If shaft cannot be rotated, mount half elements at
90 degrees.
Step 3
5.10. Tighten all cap screws to the torques specified in Table 3.
5.11. Align equipment.
5.12. Install proper guarding prior to equipment start up.
ATTENTION! When installing the element, first seat all the
cap screws with a light torque, then tighten all cap screws
to proper torque using a torque wrench.

10. Preventative Maintenance
DANGER!
Do not make contact with the coupling when it is rotating and/or in operation
10.1. Periodic visual inspection is necessary to evaluate the condition of the flex
element. Inspection can be done during the operation using a strobe light.
10.2. When inspecting the element look for:
• Fatigue cracks at element splits
• Discoloration
• Surface cracking in body of element.
ATTENTION! Replace Element if necessary.
11. Element Replacement
DANGER!
Stop the motor and lock it out to prevent start-up during installation of coupling.
11.1. Always replace both half elements.
11.2. Install both half elements from the same box.
11.3. Follow installation instructions (see Section 5, Rexnord Viva Coupling Installation).
11.4. Tighten element cap screws to proper torque (see Table 3).
